There is an Innova Dealer in Centerview, MO. That's where I bought mine several years ago and it is great. The people in Centerview are wonderful and their shop is also an amazing quilt shop. My machine has all the bells and whistles but came out before the M24. A friend has the M24 and loves it. Also lessons come with your purchase. Since you are in MO maybe you are close enough to go take a test drive. You won't regret an Innova.
